Tuesday night, reports dropped that Detroit Lions guard Joe Dahl had received a two-year extension, keeping him locked up through the 2021 season. Given all of the other players that may be due an extension, it was interesting to see Dahl—who has only started four games in the NFL—get the priority.
Being a fifth-round pick and coming from a school like Washington State that didn’t run a very pro-style friendly offense, it was always known that Dahl was going to be a bit of a project. And while he’s never won a starting job in his first three years in Detroit, fellow Lions guard Graham Glasgow thinks he’s ready now.
